B-2 bombers back in the air

The suspension in flying was imposed Aug. 6, after a potential problem
with ejection seat initiators was discovered by their manufacturer, O.E.A.
Aerospace. Initiators control the aircrew ejection system's operation.

"This was strictly a precautionary measure," said Brig. Gen.
Leroy Barnidge, Jr., 509th Bomb Wing commander. "There is never a
reason to needlessly subject any of our aircrew members to increased risk.
Suspending our peacetime flying training operations was a prudent thing
to do."
